The smash-hit musical and winner of four Olivier Awards® including Best New Musical, The Book of Mormon, is still as popular as ever at the Prince of Wales Theatre.

Before closing in March 2020 alongside all of theatreland, this 'hit of the year' (The Times) sold out every one of its performances and broke records for the highest single day of sales in West End history.

*****
'Fearlessly stuffed with foul expletives, full-frontal filth, profound political incorrectness and blasphemy. Screamingly entertaining.'
Mail On Sunday

Red. White. Black.

These are the colours by which Death remembers.

And the colours of a girl who dared to write her story in the ruins.

The Book Thief is told by Death – they are haunted by humans, cataloguing the colour of the sky at the precise moment they carry each soul away.

Tonight’s story belongs to Liesel Meminger, twelve years old and unafraid to take what matters: the red of a book found in the snow, the black of a novel rescued from a bonfire, the white of empty pages she will fill with her own defiant words.

Down in a cellar painted in shadows, she reads to Max, a Jewish fist-fighter hidden by her foster family, and together they imagine a world lit by language. Above, Hans plays the accordion with fingers stained by tobacco and time, Rosa hurls curses wrapped in warmth, and Rudy runs beside Liesel, chasing a kiss that history won’t allow.

With a libretto by bestselling author Jodi Picoult and Timothy Allen McDonald, and a soaring score by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson, The Book Thief transforms Markus Zusak’s modern classic in 'the perfect page to stage adaptation' (Theatre and Tonic ?????), 'a creative and theatrical adaptation of a powerful story' (British Theatre Guide), and 'a show that will steal your heart' (WhatsOnStage ?????).

Here, books burn, but stories survive.
Here, memory sings.
Here, kindness is rebellion.

Red. White. Black.
The colours of war.
The colours of memory.
The colours of a girl who held onto hope.
